DianeSue - I didn't take the comment wrong at all - maybe I was "channeling" you
And actually, I took it as an indication that i was on to something. The original Body Max and the Karen voight one - together???!! That would be quite something ...
Not sure I'm up for channeling THAT - not right now, for sure!
Anyway. Finally finished my workout. It's late. Funny how I was talking about that earlier. My day was busy so I had to split it up. I did the last leg workout for Meso 1. I went ahead and included the bonus work since it used a stability ball and K. Voight's floorwork doesn't. Then I did MMA Kickbox (was just going to do the core work, but the whole thing ended up "tagging along"
).
Just now I finally did the G W W floorwork. She does some unique things with leg angles and planes of motion. I used 5 lb. ankle weights and held an additional 5 or 8 lb. hand weight to a couple of the moves (I would have still felt it quite nicely without that, in retrospect, but it was ok). Also, on the leg extensions, I knotted a non-latex band (purpele) and held that behind my back, looped over my foot, for some extra resistance. I tend to skip floorwork. It isn't even that I dislike it so much as sometimes feel there might be other more "bang for my buck (don't really like that phrase - can't think of another one just now)" things I could do, instead. I'm glad I did this, though. All unilateral work, about fifteen minutes per leg. She covered a lot in that time - pretty thorough and ... good. I felt it, for sure.
I think her instruction and cuing is ... precise. She does, however, do this repetitive chant: "up, up, and down and up and down and down again ..." stuff I wasn't too keen on, but I think that may just have been a teaching style of the time. I didn't notice it after awhile. I'm recalling now that the whole workout is kind of "detail oriented." (Would you say so, or do you know what I mean, DianeSue?). Not sure how else to explain it. That might be tedious for some people, but I still think I'll try the rest of it (just for something different) over the next couple weeks. It isn't an easy workout.
I was going to post my weights for STS legs, but it's so late, I'm not even sure who will see this. Plus, I still have things I need to do before bed.
